Citrus salad with walnuts

As you know, Thursdays are vegetarian days.
I had an idea of fresh greens, a variety of citrus fruits, chopped walnuts and a homemade vinaigrette. To further enhance the flavours, I wanted to put brick cheese cubes and grilled pita chips.
This took no more than 10 minutes to make.

Instructions:
Extract the juice of 1 grapefruit and incorporate with equal parts extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper to taste ( this is your dressing)
Finely chop pita bread into chips and cook them in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes
Cut the oranges and remaining grapefruit in diamonds
Take the baby spinach, the spring leaves, the shoots
Add the oranges, the cheese, the pita chips and the walnuts
Drizzle with the homemade vinaigrette

The way we do it, fattouch is like regular salad except the tomatoes and cucumbers are sliced in bigger chunks than regularly. As for the dressing, aha, it goes: Huile d’olive, jus de Citron, Sel poivre, Sumac, Concentré de grenades (Dibs roumman).
Le concentré de grenade is a pommegranate molasses. It looks like this:http://www.produitslibanais.fr/sirops-melasses/46-melasse-de-grenade-300ml.html
